NEW DELHI: As concerns grow about the disruption that artificial intelligence (AI) might bring, India, along with 27 other countries, including the US, UK, and European Union, have signed a declaration pledging to work on the assessment of risks. This first-ever AI Safety Summit was hosted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak in London on November 1.
“We welcome the international community’s efforts so far to cooperate on AI to promote inclusive economic growth, sustainable development and innovation, to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, and to foster public trust and confidence in AI systems to fully realise their potential,” the declaration reads.
Meanwhile, addressing the summit, Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, has said that by allowing innovation to get ahead of regulation, the countries faced misinformation and weaponisation of the internet, represented by social media, and we should not let that happen with AI in the future.
He added, “We welcome relevant international efforts to examine and address the potential impact of AI systems in existing fora and other relevant initiatives, and the recognition that the protection of human rights needs to be addressed,” he added.
